DHS Ludeman FY24 - Ovenable Trays and Lidding

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking to establish a contract for dual ovenable trays and film lidding for the Elisabeth Ludeman Center located in Park Forest, Illinois. The contract will have an anticipated term from the last dated signature of the parties through June 30, 2024. The items and quantities listed are not a guaranteed purchase, and orders will be placed on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term. Interested vendors must submit their bids by September 27, 2023. The contract is subject to the State of Illinois' standard terms and conditions, which cover payment, assignment, auditing, intellectual property, compliance with laws, warranties, and termination, among other requirements. Vendors must also complete the Standard Illinois Certifications, which address a wide range of legal, financial, ethical, labor, and environmental compliance issues.

This procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The State has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this service. While the contract does not specify a budget range, orders will be placed on an as-needed basis, and the total value will depend on the DHS's actual usage during the contract term.
